Truthfully, Yours
This story takes place in Germany at the beginning of World War II where a young man, Hans F. Schweitzer discovers the true meaning of forgiveness. There he is drafted into Hitlers Youth only to find himself in officers school becoming a young Commander of a slave camp. He falls in love with Sasha during his training in Berlin only to discover that her family are bound to one of the camps. Hans is torn from his brief meeting with Sasha only to think that he will not see her again during the war. They face great separation from their forbidden love. Both Hans and Sasha are willing to risk their lives, and learn that faith and prayer will bring them together, again. It is a story about forgiveness, love, bravery and great faith in which each lesson is found in all of us. The story is told by Hans F. Schweitzer only to be written by the author. Any words that are misspelled, have been purposely left in respect to Hans and his wishes. "I rather show everyone that I am imperfect than perfect." Happy Truthfully, yours to everyone." Keep the legacy going!
Regna and Gentes

The Making of Christian Myths in the Periphery of Latin Christendom (c. 1000-1300)
Mythology is usually reserved for non-Christian religions. However, the adoption of Christianity in Northern and East-Central Europe between c. 1000 and 1300 can be adequately described as a myth-making process: local saints were added to the Christian pantheon in all regions entering Latin Europe. The present collection explores the links between local sanctity and the making of national myths in medieval historical writing. By bringing together specialists in history and literature of the European periphery in question, the case is made that the writing of history and saints lives from this pioneering period should been analysed together as mainly successful attempts at creating cultural foundation myths.

Jewish Cattle Traders in the German Countryside, 1919–1939
Jewish Cattle Traders in the German Countryside, 1919–1939, explores the social and economic networks in which this group operated and the informal but durable bonds between Jewish cattle traders and farmers that not even incessant Nazi attacks could break. Stefanie Fischer combines approaches from social history, economic history, and sociology to challenge the longstanding cliché of the shady Jewish cattle dealer. By focusing on trust and social connections rather than analyzing economic trends, Fischer exposes the myriad inconsistencies that riddled the process of expelling the Jews from Germany. Jewish Cattle Traders in the German Countryside, 1919–1939, examines the complexities of relations between Jews and non-Jews who were engaged in economic and social exchange. In the process, Fischer challenges previous understandings of everyday life under Nazi rule and discovers new ways in which Jewish agency acted as a critical force throughout the exclusionary processes that took place in Hitler's Germany.
German Refugee Historians and Friedrich Meinecke
The book deals with the relationship between Friedrich Meinecke, who is often considered to be the leading German historian of the first half of the twentieth century, and several of his students who, after the Nazi seizure of power, were forced to emigrate because of their Jewish descent or their political views. The letters published here to Meinecke from Hans Rothfels, Dietrich Gerhard, Hajo Holborn, Felix Gilbert, Hans Rosenberg, and others show these scholars' deep respect for their old teacher, but also their growing distance from his historical interests and methods. In a period of struggle between democracy and Nazi dictatorship, the letters address the problems of emigration and remigration, German-Jewish and German-American identity, and historiography in both Germany and the United States.
Lambent Traces
On the night of September 22, 1912, Franz Kafka wrote his story "The Judgment," which came out of him "like a regular birth." This act of creation struck him as an unmistakable sign of his literary destiny. Thereafter, the search of many of his characters for the Law, for a home, for artistic fulfillment can be understood as a figure for Kafka's own search to reproduce the ecstasy of a single night. In Lambent Traces: Franz Kafka, the preeminent American critic and translator of Franz Kafka traces the implications of Kafka's literary breakthrough. Kafka's first concern was not his responsibility to his culture but to his fate as literature, which he pursued by exploring "the limits of the hu...
